  • Abstract
    This paper presents an approach to design and develop an Unmanned Powered Parafoil Aerial Vehicle (UPPAV) to surveillance an area. The paper discusses in detail about the relation between Parafoil size and payload weight. Analytical calculations are done to understand the UPPAV performance. The performance results are then compared with open loop flight test results.
